From big name comedians to open mic nights, the Improv always seems to have something going on. The Improv also hosts the most exciting event in amateur standup each year—the Improv Finals, or "Cream of the Crap," as it has been lovingly dubbed. Some people may have a problem with the Improv's two-drink (or food item) minimum, but we at the Metro look at it as an ante in poker. It's only there to get things started, plus the jokes are always funnier when judgment has been impaired.
